If you don't know how to install light fixture, I don't recommend that you do it by yourself. The installation theory is actually very simple - all you need to do is attach fixture on the ceiling (or any other place) and then connect the electrical wires (usually there are two of them). After that it's good to put the light cover over the fixture to improve the appearance.

∙ 13y agoYou will be working on a ladder if light is on ceiling so be careful. A non metal ladder is preferred when working with electricity.
Remove the fixture such that the wires connecting it to house power are accessible. In some cases it might appear that the fixture could hang from the wires coming from the ceiling, but do not rely on this. It is best to support the fixture while working on the wires.
There will likely be three wires connecting the fixture to house wiring. Black is hot, white is neutral and bare wire is ground. Unscrew the wirenuts by turning counterclockwise and untwist the wires until all wires are free and the fixture can be removed.
Ensure new fixture mounts can be used with existing mount. While supporting new fixture (Help is advised for all but smallest fixture), reconnect to the the house power with black to black, white to white and ground to ground.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

∙ 10y agoTo install lighting in one's ceiling you'd need to first cut a hole in one's ceiling to fix the fixture in. The fixture is what you'll put your lighting in so that it fits properly in the ceiling. Before you put the fixture in, you need to make sure the wiring is correct. The wire that connect the electricity from the future light in a ceiling to the rest of the house. After that is done one only needs to put the fixture in. After you fit the fixture into the ceiling one would only need to put the lighting, whether it is a light bulb or anything else.

Where is the best place to hang a ceiling fixture?
The best place to hang a ceiling fixture would depend on the room you are putting it in. For example in the dining room you would want to center it over your table. Living rooms and bedrooms usually will be in the center of the room.

These types of light fixtures are called wall a sconce. In is located on a wall usually about 3 foot from the ceiling. The open end of the fixture is facing upwards. This allows the light to reflect off the ceiling and give a more filtered light to objects in the surrounding area in the room.
Can you convert an existing flush mount ceiling light into a recessed light?
Sure. Get a recessed light that is designed to be installed in "old Work". You must hav eenough room in ceiling to contain the recessed light. There may be some issues in some locations where the recessed fixture may overheat if for instance there is insulation around the fixture. Light should have an over temp cutoff. There should be a template with recessed light and a built in box to wire in the power from the old light. If you carefully cut out the sheetrock in ceiling according to the template dimensions, you will be able to use the piece you remove to repair the hole should there be no room for the recessed light. If there is attic access where the new light will be installed, you may be able to use a "new Work" light fixture since you can mount it from above. Go to someplace like Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have available.
Can you connect one single light switch to another single light switch to control the same light on or off.?
Yes you can. There are three ways of doing this. Two are incorrect and one is the correct way of doing it.The two switches can be paralleled together to make the light fixture respond. Both of the two switches will always have to be in the on position. Either switch will turn the light off but the second switch will not turn the light on. Very inconvenient when you enter a room through one door and leave by another.The two switches can be wired in series. Both switches have to be on to operate the light but again if one of either switch is left in the off position the other switch will not operate the light fixture. Very inconvenient when you enter a room through one door and leave by another.The correct way of wiring two switches to control a central light fixture is with a three way switching system (two way in the UK). The two positions have to have special three way switches in each position. These types of switches sort out the problems of leaving a switch in a certain position to operate properly. The only criteria is that there be a three conductor cable joining the two three way switch boxes together.See related links below.
How do you repair a dimmer and light switch in the same room?

Wiring Up a Light Fixture?
Wiring Up a Light FixtureWhen remodeling a dining room, the light fixture can become a hazard if it is hung low enough. Banging one's head on a chandelier or heavy light cover hurts. If a light bulb breaks, it can become dangerous with broken glass in the eyes and under the feet. Wiring up a low-hanging light fixture takes a attention to a few details.Remove the table and chairs so access to the light fixture chain is unhampered. Set up a stepladder close enough to the fixture that it is easily worked on without the person leaning away from it. If the light covers are in the way, remove them to a safe area. Determine how much to raise the light fixture so people can walk under it safely.For raising the fixture temporarily, use a piece of baling wire or heavy construction wire. Place the wire through two of the chain links and lightly twist with a pair of pliers. When the work is over, remove the wire and lower the light fixture.If permanently raising the fixture is desired, purchase a connector link from the DIY store that matches the light fixture chain. As with the wire, attach the connector to two of the links and leave in place.This can be done with any light fixture in the home, on the patio, entryway or porch. For lights hung with cable, use a hose clamp spray-painted to match the cable. Do not over-tighten.
